kikuyu1: the Sri Lankans also used transport aircraft's to carpet bomb rebel positions . not many know this, in modern times it was the Sri Lankans who pioneered the usage of barrel bombs. i am sure the Assad guys got inspired by the Sri Lankans. anyways coming to topic, lets say "low tech may be the new high tech" ![]() the COIN optimized light-attack turboprops are cheap both to build and to fly. turboprops can use roads and fields for takeoff and landing. Maintaining turboprops, is easy in fact too easy and can be done anywhere without the need for specialized equipment's. the turboprops also have good endurance, some can stay aloft for 10 hours. the turboprops can carry a formidable weapons load for example Air Tractor AT-802U can carry six 225kg precision-guided bombs and more than 2,000kg of missiles, rockets and ammunition for two 50-calibre machine guns. inclusion of electro-optical suite gives them the added advantage of being able to carry out persistence surveillance in addition to carrying out pin point strikes. you must have heard of the OODA loop Observe Orient Decide Act these turboprops are fully outfitted to Observe ( via the olectro-optical sensors etc ) Orient ( good low speed maneuverability , good handling qualities etc for effective strafing runs etc ) Decide ( comms to network with other platforms, perform live feeds, man in the loop advantage etc ) Act ( fire away to glory ![]() also another thing is you can outfit turboprops with hailers (loud speakers) , these has its advantage ,one of them is if you see a group of civilians moving towards a impending strike zone , you can make a low pass and call them out to turn back etc. if you recall the STUKAS from WW2 , they had sirens fitted to them , just before a dive attack they would turn it on , was said to be very effective . i am genuinely interested to try it out on BH, al sabah , imagine play out a continuous deafening, hair raising crescendo via the hailers while carrying out strafing runs on them. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() i will bet a penny many at the receiving end will have loose bowels before meeting their maker. cheap psychological warfare one o one ![]() what i find disappointing is the lack of interest, Africa is in dire needs of a COIN optimized turboprop , surely the numbers required are huge , whats stopped them from building one or even get an older frame and reverse engineering it to a capable modern avatar or even acquiring a air-frame and outfitting it with necessary equipment's. south Africa have one (arhlac) , but it is still in trial (i could be wrong here), if this aircraft was operational 10 years ago , you would have seen it in large numbers, provided alternate systems/parts were there to replace the US systems/parts. again many air-force fear that buying these turboprops will eat away the funds earmarked for other strategic acquisition or at least delay the said acquisition by a number of years. one of the reasons why we see hesitancy for acquisition of turboprops. cant really blame them, politicians are stingy when it comes to allocating funds for defense acquisitions. 2 Likes |

jakeporeshenko: technical failure , they deliberately selected the water body for the crash landing in order to minimize collateral damages to civilian property/lives and increase the crews survival chances |

china says it has quantum radar:what does that means? China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC), China's foremost military electronics company, has announced that its scientists have tested a quantum radar to the range of 100km, beating out known American and German competition by 500 percent. This is a significant claim to make, as a quantum radar would theoretically be able to detect stealth aircraft at long ranges.link http://www.popsci.com/china-says-it-has-quantum-radar-what-does-that-mean |

africaken254: Quantum radars for stealth. Composite are very tiny and same with radar absorbent materials. They also have a resonance frequency hence, quantum radar is the best in illuminating targets with low backscattered reflection. It's based on quantum-entalgment. (Photons) comes to mind like wave particles. Even if your radar absorbent composite is impregnated in a lossy material, it will be detected. 1 Like |

"Beyond Science Fiction" --Chinese Quantum Physics Breakthrough Enables New Radar Capable of Detecting ‘Invisible’ Targets 100 Kilometers Distant Wonder how this invention would have been useless if found made by an African. We will be like does he even know what he's saying ? A breakthrough in detecting low reflective and almost invisible targets? If it's not from the west it's not possible. 1 Like |

it looks like a JF17 crashed in the Arabian sea. no official confirmation though. it will be the 3rd crash for JF17 in PAF service if true. The fact that the mission was being flown out of Karachi indicates that the air-frame belonged to the no2. Squadron (Minhas), which operates the recently inducted JF17 block 2. news blackout from PAF sources , but the news broke out because a british airlines flying overhead picked up a distress signal and reported to the authorities. now SAR operations are on. @henry240 came to know that Nigeria is set to sign deal in November for JF17 1 Like |
